While on vacation, I love reading novels based on the area. For example, before discovering 30A we vacationed on Isle of Palms in South Carolina. I loved reading "beach reads" by Mary Alice Monroe and Dorothea Benton Frank.
Are there any great "beach reads" set in this area?

I love Cassandra King's novels. Read The Sunday Wife when I was here two years ago and am currently reading The Queen of Broken Hearts, which is set in Fairhope, AL. As I recall, The Sunday Wife was based on the SoWal area............even references Modica market but by another similar sounding name. I bought my books at Sundog Books in Seaside.

Well, on page 2, she comes out with this gem, which might send some Graytonites running for the tar and feathers: "If the neighboring Seaside is a fairly-tale kingdom, then Grayton Beach is the enchanted forest, hiding the little people.":floor:
Little People of Grayton, unite!!! You have nothing to lose but your stilts and platform heels!!!:funn:
